Today, July 2, the full moon day, is guru purnima,
a traditional, annual day for remembering and
celebrating the teaching force called guru. "Gu"
means "darkness" and "ru" means "light". Guru is
the light, which dispels the darkness of ignorance,
revealing the true light within. Whether we hold
guru as a force field of grace, or as operating
through a person, may we each, in our own way,
remember with gratitude that guiding light
called guru.
